Set AGP as the primary display adaptor to avoid errors. (agp image by TEA from Fotolia.com)

Personal computers require a graphics adaptor to send video signals to the monitor. Graphics adaptors can be integrated to the motherboard, or they can come as peripheral devices that use either the PCI or AGP configuration. If you have an AGP video card installed on your PC, you must make it the primary graphics adaptor, or you will get "Activate AGP for consistency" error messages when running certain video games.
